Multiple Word Strings Using C++ in Xcode 2.2

Question

This is my first post and I'm happily a new member and hopefully a helpful one as well. I took a C++ programming class in school, decided to use Xcode and start doing programming again. However, I have this issue:
I'm trying to use a string to read me what I've entered for the name of a person, of course once there is a space, the name ends. Here is my code...
int main()
int loannumber;
string name;
cout << "May I have your loan number please? ";
cin >> loannumber;
cout << "Your loan number is " << loannumber << endl;
cout << "May I have your name please? ";
cin >> name;
getline (cin, name);
cout << "Hello " << name << ".\n";
Whenever it asks me for the name, I put the first and last name and it will only read the last name back to me.
How can I get multiple word strings in C++ code? Can someone help me?
Thank you!!

Hi--
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You can do it if you rewrite your code something like this:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) {
char ca[100];
cout << "May I have your name please?\n";
cin.getline(ca, 100);
cout << "Hello " << ca << ".\n";
return 0;
}I got this tip from this page, which I found with a Google search. I really don't use C++, though, so I'm not exactly certain that's the "correct" way to go about doing this...
